Yeoman___________coffee maid
Responding to a call from Scalos, Kirk and company beam down to find
the city deserted, except for insect-like buzzing sounds. Then a member
of the landing party sips some water and vanishes! Back aboard the Enterprise,
Kirk drinks coffee and also disappears. He finds himself in accelerated
time, the love-slave of the Scalosian queen, who sabotages the Enterprise
and plans to use Kirk to help repopulate her planet!
Scalos: a planet #7 on the industrial scale, life forms register on the tricorder but of an unusual nature. After a volcanic eruption, the pollution poisoned the planet and caused the 'acceleration' phenomenon. The men and women were rendered sterile except a few who need to find mates outside their race. A variation of the 'humans living as insects' theme.
